Magmozine Editor . Ask Me A Question

This is your opportunity to ask the creator of AGuySite.com, Magmozine.com, GuyTVBlog.com & Micoofy.com a question. I've done these Q&A's before and you guys always seem to throw some great questions my way and I hope to find a whole new batch of questions all week long.
Have you been dying to find out something about me? Maybe you're wondering what this editor's personal opinion is regarding something you're dealing with. Or maybe you want advice on something in your life and you don't have anyone in your circle of friends and family that you can go to for answers.
I'm here to help and I'm ready for your questions, if any. All you have to do is to write a question in the comments area and await an answer. [and no, the image pictured above is not of me...]
One more thing, I am very honest in my opinonated answers to your questions. Some may view my answers or choice of words as "harsh"while some may not. Please don't take my words/advice as a "negative" but more of a positive answer to your inquiry. I'm all about helping those I can and I am not about getting on your bad side. I don't claim to know everything but I have been told I've been good at giving out "common sense" resolutions to your problems.

So Why RedHeads?

Hey Dwight,
Hmmmm... Well there is the one guy and I wouldn't call him a "celebrity" only because he works for the local news team here in Dallas. Wait, he was once a Dallas Cowboy football player.
http://cbs11tv.com/bios/local_bio_316121752.html
His name is Babe Laufenberg. He's got a solid build, beautiful face, handsome body, he makes me drool.
This one time at a trendy mall I found him shopping for suits. My jaw dropped and I couldn't move. There he was. Right in front of me.
I look around. No Wife. I looked around again. No girlfriend. He seemed alone. So I started walking towards his direction, you know "checking out the suits".
I remember he wore slacks that showed off his perfectly sculpted ass cheeks and I was only an inch away from grabbing ahold of them. He noticed me and we exchanged smiles.
I started up the "you're Babe" thing and he shook my hand....oh dear God, his strong hands squeezing my young hand.
I can't even remember the cologne he was wearing but it was so fuckin intoxicating. I think we talked about sports and Mavericks or something like that.
I actually ended the conversation cause I wanted to feel important and told him I have to meet a friend, which I did though.
I looked back from afar in hoping he'd give me the 2nd glance but his lady friend soon joined him.
He is quite the man. That's my tiny teeny celeb story.
And thanks again for your interest in Magmozine.com!

Hey Scott,
Well first off, thanks for the insult. I did ask for them.
A good handful of readers from previous "Ask" posts have been filled with various questions. People have questions. I just offer my service and queer thoughts to those who are of interest.
And you my friend are another one of those who are "of interest" because if you really weren't interested in a response you simply would not have written a damn thing here.
Magmozine.com can't be for everyone. One person may take away a great visit and look forward to coming back the very next day. Another may be expecting way too much from me and my family of websites and continue expecting more from me when all I'm offering is not what they need to feel good about themselves and the time they spent here online.
I can't apologize for the lack of content you seem to think Magmozine.com needs.
I understand that every blog loses readers time and time again due to changes in their blog, their writing styles, their posting style and/or the blog owner's interests in life.
A blog shouldn't cater to just you and your very useful and respect opinion. My only advice is to either move on or stick around and see Magmozine continue to change into a whole new magazine each and every month.
Next month I will be putting out a double issue which means I'll be posting twice a day. Some have requested I post more so I'm going to do my best at putting out a "readable" issue of Magmozine.
I know you'll return for that. February. The month of love. And the month of hate. I think I know which category you currently fall into.
Thanks again Scott for your interest in trying to fix Magmozine.com!

Hey JO Hn,
So why redheads you ask... I use to have a distaste for redheaded individuals because the ones I've met in my previous schooling days were just not my type. I had yet to meet a redhead that excited me sexually. I mean I had friends who were redheads but I didn't want to jump their bones.
When discovering the wide world of redhead men on various profile sites I started to notice redheaded guys in a whole new light.
I'd also have to give credit to Wes from The Real World: Austin cast and Blu Kennedy, the very talented performer of adult films and websites for my next interest in the redheaded gene.

Thanks again for your time and question JO Hn.

Let me start off by saying 'you're blog is amazing.' It has been my weekly go-to blog for inspiration. you're pics have inspired me to really work hard on my bod, i mean, im just starting to get hooked on the whole workout thing and your photos have kinda been my push to head to the gym daily. And your posts have been really insightful too.
My question is simple. Why aren't you OUT? It may seem stupid to ask but I am like you, I'm not out yet, heck I'm still confused. Just wanted to hear your reasons, hoping I can relate. Thank Magmozine!
Posted by: thirdy | January 13, 2007 5:25 PM
Ok, my question comes with a sticky situation.
I have a co-worker/friend that I've been infatuated with for a while now. I was the very first person he came out to, and the very first guy that he recieved a BJ from.(I had my chance to do it so I went for it, it was consentual). A little bit more about him is that he's not officially out to everyone, but you really can't miss it, the man is as gay as a broadway musical.
Moving on, the fella and I are very good friends, so we go out to the bar often and bitch about the other people that we work with, he says really sweet things that make me feel like a million dollars. We're very flirty, and I know he knows that I adore him, and I know he knows that he can have me in a heart beat, it's torture.
So the real question is this, how do I either get this guy to start dating me, or how do I just get over this.
Posted by: Jake | January 13, 2007 10:33 PM
Hey thirdy,
Well thank you, I knew that a few handful of my readers came to Magmozine.com for the enjoyment that it supplies.
It's also good to know you're hitting the weights/gym because everyone always needs some time set aside for excercise.
Now you asked why I wasn't "OUT". Good question, very good.
My family is Hispanic and the family values they have do not include the random homosexual views and/or lifestyle. No one in my family tree throughout the state of Texas is openly gay and/or out.
I believe a female cousin of mine is a lesbian but I've never flat out asked her. Not yet at least.
With homophobic jokes tossed around during family gatherings [sometimes just one joke but one is always one too many] and with talk about how low the homosexual lifestyle is when it is compared to my family's lives... well one tends to keep quiet about the idea that I love to suck dick.
I also have a young 12 month old female darling in my life and I'd hate for her to be "protected" from my "kind".
I could come out and change my family's views and ideals toward the GLBT community but at this point in my life I'm not ready to go through what one has to go through when they choose to come out.
Others just seem to have far more personal courage than I because they make the desicion to come out to their family, accepting the good and the bad.
I believe there will be a time and place for my coming out day but at this point I'm comfortable with my family referring me as just me rather than "the gay one".
I also hope no one uses me as an example to stay in the closet. Your individual situation is completely different even if you feel there are similarities.
If the day comes where you're tired of living the "lie" then be truthful to everyone, including yourself.
As for your use of the word "confused", you're attracted to who you're attracted to. No need to generalize or label yourself gay or straight, not yet at least.
I already know I'm gay as an arrow, the ladies naughty bits just don't do it for me. Gay as a fuckin' arrow.
One of the most reguritated questions tossed around is "Who do you want to find yourself lying next to when you wake up in the morning... a man or a woman?" Ask yourself this and you may no longer be confused.
Posted by: Magmozine Editor | January 14, 2007 4:19 AM
YAY. I must say, "I LOVE it when you go one on one with your readers". Very few blogs do so (or so that I have noticed, but I do have little time these days).
Your blog has always been an inspiration of mine, ever since I stumbled upon "Aguysite.com". My question is ... how did you manage to affiliate yourself with other sites (links and such).
Question 2: (a personal one) I'm seeing someone, and we've been together for months now. He's the perfect guy in that he always has me in mind, always wants to help and allows me to do what I want to do ... but I don't feel the same. I know that what I'm about to say will hurt him so much, to the point that I don't want to say it, but I know I have too. Simply, he's not the one for me ... is there any way for me to "soften the blow" in the news that I'm going to leave him?
I do care for him, and I don't want to see him hurt, but I must be true to myself.
Sincerely
Justin

Hey Jake,
Very interesting situation you've gotten you and your heart into.
Okay, here we go.
My first assumptions is that he's not into you, at least not with a romantic interest. It could also be the fact that he's not ready for a relationship and wants to enjoy himself with many, many, many men. Or maybe he's seeing someone secretly and not even you know about it. And what if he has a crush on someone else and will only notice you as the "friend" in his life while he continues to crush on another guy.
I don't want you to put yourself in a situation of always wondering "what if". Get your friend in a somewhat private area where no one is going to easedrop and give their 2 cents.
Once you've found your place now comes the time to talk with him. First, make sure that you keep body contact out of it. Don't hold his hand or touch him. You'll also want to leave the keyword "relationship" out of this important converstaion.
Your angle, your mission is to get him thinking about going on ONE SINGLE date with you.
The idea is to get him thinking about your friendship, the amount of time you've known each other. That's your starting point of the conversation.
Next you become assertive with your words. You TELL him that you'd like to take him out on a "date". Tell him the God's honest truth that you'd like to know what a date with [insert his name here] is like.
If he agrees to a date with you and enjoys the idea of going out with his "friend" then you need to set him straight and inform him that a romantic side of yourself will come out on the date.
At this point I hope that he has become intrigued with the idea of seeing your romantic side while out on the town.
Once you and him find yourself on the actual date you can now become more open about your feelings and the idea of dating each other. You're going to have to wing it at this point because you're giving YOU to him, not a prepared version of what you think he wants to hear.
If at the end of the date he declines the idea of romance with you, ask for a good night kiss to "End our 1 day romance".
Now if he declines the date altogether and would rather just remain friends then his intention(s) of anything more than friends just isn't there with you.
What's even more perfect is that next month is the month of love, of dating and of sweaty gay sex. If you're impatient then go ahead and ask him about the date thing this month.
BUT if you want to wait until February when everyone around you 2 are displaying large amounts of love, well then maybe he will jump at the chance of a date during/before Valentine's Day with you.
If this doesn't work then come back to me and I'll address the part of getting over him.
Posted by: Magmozine Editor | January 14, 2007 5:17 AM
Hey Justin,
Thanks for Lovin' my blog! It's always here for your special kind of loving.
As for your 1st question, it comes off as a bit vague so you may need to define it to a T so that I know exactly what you're asking about.
As for your 2nd question...
Let's get this important fact in front of us and everyone reading. Pain and "hurt" is and must be part of a relationship's end. There's no way to avoid it, you can't control the amount of hurt so there's no need to think anymore about the issue of hurting someone emotionally.
First get a trusted friend who knows about the upcoming breakup to call you a few hours after the break up happens. Your trusted friend will want to know that you're alright and that they are there if you need to talk to someone about the aftermath.
Now comes the moment where you tell him. I personally feel it is important to tell him these exact words. "What I'm about to tell you is going to hurt you".
Hopefully you're not cheating on him because your next choice of words that comes out of your mouth should be something along the lines that there is NOT another person in your heart, your life or in your bed.
If you're cheating on him, be prepared for large amounts of anger from his side and the break up to end quite horribly.
Anyways, assuming you're not cheating, next you tell him what you want.
You need to be selfish at this point and by this I mean you need to tell him EXACTLY what you want.
Examples: Your space, To date other people, To not be in this relationship anymore, A private life, For us to be friends and just friends.
You put it all out there, one after another. If he interrupts you at any point you need to tell him that you need to finish what you're saying.
If he's still in love with you he's going to ask for a 2nd chance. Be honest and tell him this is the 2nd chance. That you've felt like this for some time and have already continued the relationship to see if it is what YOU really wanted. Next you tell him that YOU want to end this relationship.
Tell him that YOU have to do this. And whatever he verbally throws at you that you keep repeating "I have to do this" in a calm mannor without raising your voice.
If he wants to turn this into an argument, let him throw the verbal blows and you just keep moving forward with what you have to say.
Finally you end the break up with "I need to know that you know that this relationship is ending/over".
If he doesn't want to talk at this point then you can leave and be on your way. If he answers you back with a "yes" in a shocking amount of short time then you will have your answer from him.
And the break up is done.
This is the SOFTEST kind of break up that I can think of. I just have to tell you to be a man and do it face to face with him. Don't do it over the phone, or in a letter, respect him and do it face to face.
And do it this month and not during February. Let him "hurt" during January and hopefully by February he will be ready to move on to his next big romance.

OK Nate, this one's been bothering me for a while; on the About page of the site you say you're as happy as the guy in the picture. Are either of the pics on that page you?
And you know this Scott loves your site bro.
Posted by: scott | January 14, 2007 12:34 PM
Hey Scott,
No. I have never claimed to anyone at anytime that the pics are of me. But they do represent a side of me and my personality. I AM happy as that guy. Always smiling and laughing.
Being private is something I'm comfortable with and does match my personality of always wanting to be "behind the camera".
And oh my dear sweet Jesus! Your "ex boif and his (relatively) new tattoo" picture post is just, well words can not describe the feeling the image left forever ebedded in my mind.
Posted by: Magmozine Editor | January 14, 2007 10:54 PM
Nate,
Indulge me, I have three questions:
1. Do you have any tatoos or body piercings? If so, tell us about them.
2. You must spend a lot of time blogging. I understand that your family is very important to you. If you are not out with them, what do you tell them about all the time you spend online? Just checkin' out all the neat tools at Home Depot?
3. Regarding your post of 2006 Valentine's Day cards, is that my former boss, a young Donald Rumsfeld, washing his Porsche? (I think I know the answer to this question.)
Posted by: jockalot | January 15, 2007 4:49 PM
Hello jockalot,
1. So far I have no tatoos or body piercings. I don't see myself getting a tat one crazy drunken night but I do see myself planning a tattoo out.
I can't reveal where I'll put it just yet but it will be a tat of one of my greatest fears...
2. My excuse is writing. Most don't know this one, meaning my readers, but I want to pen a few screenplays for Hollywood, not so much Gay Hollywood. I'm always working on something new and that I use the net to research nearly everyday.
Always learning, always reading, always jerking.
I notice other people in my circle of friends and family wasting endless hours of time on the net doing nearly nothing important except just surfing with no meaning... I try to make every minute I spend online worth something and if I catch myself wasting time, I turn it off immediately and work out or something.
3. Ohhh, funny one! I am under the impression that the guy featured in the vintage photo is James Dean... but I could be wrong. And maybe Average Joe #29,238 didn't know the guy was James Dean, and now he does. ;o)
Posted by: Magmozine Editor | January 15, 2007 10:58 PM
Hey Guy ...
I don't think this one was asked: Where do you get the seemingly candid photos of the hotties? Do you take them?
Posted by: dwight | April 21, 2007 10:22 AM

Hey Man! how r u?
First: Great blogs! Im reading from Venezuela... its my dirty little secret, to check almost every day. I was hooked by your post about Kelan of laguna Beach. Well... mine its a tech question. Could you help me? I triying to use MovableType as my blogging platform as you. The thing is I have "mydomain.com", but every time I install it forces me to use "mydomain.com/something". I would like to use just "mydomain.com" just like you use, "magmozine.com, micoofy.com",etc, etc. Any idea of how did you do that?...
